You, too, can win $1,000,000

Enter TODAY in VANITY FAIR'S Own Prize Contest, Conducted in the Best Bucket-shop Manner of all the Current Newspaper Puzzle Pages

■ EDITOR'S NOTE: In an effort to keep up with the times, and grab onto the current fads as fast as they appear. VANITY FAIR has inaugurated this month its own Prize Puzzle Contest, open to all its readers. As an indication of their integrity, moreover, the Editors have appointed John Riddell to serve as Puzzle Editor of their Prize Contest. Previous contestants will of one accord remember that Mr. Riddell also served as Puzzle Editor of seven preceding Prize Contests, and won them all, and the Editors feel absolutely sure that his appointment should leave no doubts in anyone's mind as to the outcome of the current affair.

HEY, FELLER! HOW'D YOU LIKE TO EARN $1,000,000 A MINUTE?

You would? Sure! So would anybody. So would the Editor. Well, just spend one minute reading the Rules and Regulations of our new Puzzle Contest, as set forth below, and that million dollars is as good as in your pocket. Better, in fact.

HERE'S HOW ANY MAN, WOMAN OR TOT CAN ENTER

There's nothing hard or complicated about one of these contests. Anyone with a mental age of two can enter, and usually does. Just notice the cartoons on this page. Each cartoon represents a name, a wellknown name, a GREAT NAME. All you have to do is to pick out the name represented by the cartoon from the six names printed below that cartoon.

Fill out your answer on the ENTRY FORM, print or typewrite your name and address (if a woman, give telephone number also), tear your answer once lengthwise and once across, and drop it BEFORE MIDNIGHT into the nearest waste-basket. The rest is up to us.

Remember that stick-to-it-iveness is what counts. Pluck and perseverance are bound to WIN. All you need is faith, diligence, luck, and a personal acquaintance with the Puzzle Editor.

OOOPS! BY THE WAY! ONE OTHER LITTLE THING—

We almost forgot to mention that the Rules of this Contest require that you mail a dollar bill with each answer. This is done merely to cover the cost of the paper and twine which the Editor uses in wrapping up that bundle of a million dollar bills which he is going to send you, and is absolutely necessary to qualify you for a prize. Simply enclose a dollar bill with each one of the hundred answers that you submit, and you will have done your part. The rest is up to the Puzzle Editor.

DO NOT FORGET to put a dollar in the envelope with each answer. It will be all right if you forget to put in the answer, but DON'T FORGET THAT DOLLAR. A WORD FROM A WINNER in a previous Puzzle Contest

Mr. Orion J. McAnkle, of 127 Wilgus Avenue, the Bronx, who received $309.76 in last month's "Whom Is It?" Contest.

"My friends were inclined to 'josh' me about going into your Puzzle Contest, and said I couldn't win," states Mr. McAnkle, "but I refused to 'quit' or be discouraged. After repeated efforts, I finally secured a position as Puzzle Editor myself. I am planning to go to Europe with the money that I got, unless I am nabbed before the boat sails."

IF YOU THINK LAST MONTH'S WAS HARD, TRY THESE!

As an added feature of our Puzzle Page, the Editors of VANITY FAIR have worked out several more contests to while away the hot weather. These contests may be enjoyed by the reader in the privacy of his own home. If the reader wishes to give himself the illusion of entering a Prize Contest, he may write out a check for one hundred dollars as FIRST PRIZE. If he wishes to complete the illusion, he can send the check to the Puzzle Editor.

We submit a few of these sample Puzzle Contests on the following page:

WHAT NUMBER AM I THINKING OF?

Think of a number from 1 to 1000. Write down your answer on a piece of plain white piper, fold it carefully, and then open it again and compare the result with the number of which you were thinking. Following are some sample numbers:

11, 234, 8¼, 1189, 2, 4.98.

"WHOM ARE YOU?"

Put on a derby hat and a pair of overrized shoes, and paste a small black moustache on your upper lip. Twirl a rattan cane, spread out your toes and run awkwardly on your heels toward a mirror. Look at yourself for a moment in the glass. Which one of the following notable personages do you represent?

HERIERT HOOVER ALBERT EINSTEIN

DORIS DUKE CHARLIE CHAPLIN

THE EMIR OF AFGHANISTAN MUSSOLINI OR. TOWNSEND JEAN HARLOW

1. FACES OF OUR PRESIDENTS CONTEST

The upper third of this picture is the forehead of a famous President of United States who was known as "First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen", and after whom a national capital is named; the middle third is a middle-western state the name of which is commonly abbreviated as Kan.; and the lower third is a moving-picture actress formerly married to Douglas Fairbanks.

4. JUMP THROUGH THIS

5. SEE IF YOU CAN CATCH YOUR OWN FINGER

Cup your left hand, and insert your right forefinger into the space between your left forefinger and left thumb. Grab at your right forefinger and see if you can catch it with your right hand before it disappears. Ooops! Try again. Ooops. . . .

6. QUICK WHO IS THAT MAN CROUCHING BEHIND TOUR CHAIR?

Sssssh! Don't look now, but I just saw a man in a blue uniform with brass buttons, aeaking up behind you with a big net of some kind. I wonder if it could have been the Puzzle Editor? . . .

DO NOT FORGET to put a dollar in the envelope with each answer. It will be all right if you forget to put in the answer, but DON'T FORGET THAT DOLLAR.

RESULTS OF LAST MONTH'S BIG PUZZLE CONTEST

Last month we printed this picture in which the artist had made thirteen mistakes.

For detecting these errors, the FIRST PRIZE has been awarded to Miss Irma Messerschmidt, "The Rookery", 66½ Maple Street, Queens. Miss Messersmith not only discovered all thirteen of the known mistakes, but also found two others that the editors had not even noticed themselves.

As a reward, Miss Messersmith will receive the original of the picture, which has been suitably framed, as well as Miss Messerschmidt.

THE THIRTEEN ERRORS WHICH THE ARTIST

MADE IN THE PICTURE ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. The baby has a moustache.

2. The clock points to number thirteen, although my own watch says it is nearly seven in the evening.

3. The young stenographer seated in the elderly banker's lap is wearing only one snowshoe.

4. The man toasting marshmallows over the fire, burning in the center of the living-room rug, is wearing striped grey trousers with a tuxedo.

5. There is a button missing from the uniform of the third man from the left in the file of West Point Cadets marching through the window and along the top of the bookcase.

6. The man hiding inside the grand-

father's clock is the lady's own husband.

7. Either the geranium in the windowbox has got a face, or else I'm going crazy.

8. If you ask me, there's something pretty funny about the horn-rimmed spectacles on that goldfish in the bowl, too.

9. There are two handles on that pitcher under the bed.

10. Sorry, my mistake.

11. I never saw a horse in a living-room before.

12. Santa Claus is wearing only one mitten.

13. Most of the numbers are upside down.
